💡 Beyond the Label

🧠 Not every active child has ADHD.
Activity ≠ disorder. Observe, wait, support.
Replace rushing with reflection, labeling with listening.

🌈 Understanding Stimming
For neurodivergent folks, stimming = self-regulation. It helps when things feel too much or too little.

Ask: comfort, focus, or release? If unsafe, offer alternatives. See the need behind the motion.

Single moms get praise for doing it all—work, study, home, kids. But single dads doing the same rarely get credit. Parenthood shouldn’t mean one sacrifices while the other stays comfortable. Let’s normalize sharing the load.

Prep with social stories & role-play.
Keep costumes comfy, go early, bring sensory supports.
Try inclusive events or home celebrations.

Jamie Lee Curtis—star of Halloween—says she’d likely be diagnosed with a learning difference today.

Behind the screams was a student hiding her struggle with humor and grit.

The real horror?
How many bright minds still go unseen. 🎃

Horror icons like Frankenstein & Edward Scissorhands reveal society’s fear of difference. Their stories mirror autistic experiences of otherness, miscommunication, & isolation. Horror isn’t just about fear — it’s about empathy for the misunderstood.

Neurodivergence is real—not a trend.

Social media has blurred the line between awareness & aesthetic.

True understanding starts with empathy, not algorithms.

When we lose federal support:

• Speech therapy & services get delayed or cut
• Classroom staff & tools vanish
• Accountability & oversight fade

We must defend IDEA — not because it’s political, but because it’s just.

TGIF: more than “Thank God It’s Friday” 🕰️

Originated in student slang in the 1930s/40s.

Popularized by the 1978 disco film and TGI Fridays (1965).

ABC’s ’80s/’90s block redefined it as “Thank Goodness It’s Funny” to sidestep branding conflict.

A phrase + a story.

📱 “Virtual autism” refers to autism-like behaviors in children from excessive screen time, not genetics.

It can cause speech delays, poor eye contact, and attention issues—but is often reversible with reduced screens and more real-world interaction.

About 15–20% of people worldwide are neurodivergent, including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia & more.

Neurodiversity means natural brain variation—not deficits.

Challenges exist, but so do strengths: creativity, focus & innovation.
